cfg80211: call cfg80211_stop_ap when switch from P2P_GO type

2021-11-26T10:58:44+00:00

commit 563fbefed46ae4c1f70cffb8eb54c02df480b2c2 upstream.

If the userspace tools switch from NL80211_IFTYPE_P2P_GO to
NL80211_IFTYPE_ADHOC via send_msg(NL80211_CMD_SET_INTERFACE), it
does not call the cleanup cfg80211_stop_ap(), this leads to the
initialization of in-use data. For example, this path re-init the
sdata->assigned_chanctx_list while it is still an element of
assigned_vifs list, and makes that linked list corrupt.

cfg80211: call cfg80211_leave_ocb when switching away from OCB

2021-06-30T12:49:37+00:00

[ Upstream commit a64b6a25dd9f984ed05fade603a00e2eae787d2f ]

If the userland switches back-and-forth between NL80211_IFTYPE_OCB and
NL80211_IFTYPE_ADHOC via send_msg(NL80211_CMD_SET_INTERFACE), there is a
chance where the cleanup cfg80211_leave_ocb() is not called. This leads
to initialization of in-use memory (e.g. init u.ibss while in-use by
u.ocb) due to a shared struct/union within ieee80211_sub_if_data:

struct ieee80211_sub_if_data {
    ...
    union {
        struct ieee80211_if_ap ap;
        struct ieee80211_if_vlan vlan;
        struct ieee80211_if_managed mgd;
        struct ieee80211_if_ibss ibss; // <- shares address
        struct ieee80211_if_mesh mesh;
        struct ieee80211_if_ocb ocb; // <- shares address
        struct ieee80211_if_mntr mntr;
        struct ieee80211_if_nan nan;
    } u;
    ...
}

Therefore add handling of otype == NL80211_IFTYPE_OCB, during
cfg80211_change_iface() to perform cleanup when leaving OCB mode.

cfg80211: mitigate A-MSDU aggregation attacks

2021-06-03T06:22:05+00:00

commit 2b8a1fee3488c602aca8bea004a087e60806a5cf upstream.

Mitigate A-MSDU injection attacks (CVE-2020-24588) by detecting if the
destination address of a subframe equals an RFC1042 (i.e., LLC/SNAP)
header, and if so dropping the complete A-MSDU frame. This mitigates
known attacks, although new (unknown) aggregation-based attacks may
remain possible.

This defense works because in A-MSDU aggregation injection attacks, a
normal encrypted Wi-Fi frame is turned into an A-MSDU frame. This means
the first 6 bytes of the first A-MSDU subframe correspond to an RFC1042
header. In other words, the destination MAC address of the first A-MSDU
subframe contains the start of an RFC1042 header during an aggregation
attack. We can detect this and thereby prevent this specific attack.
For details, see Section 7.2 of "Fragment and Forge: Breaking Wi-Fi
Through Frame Aggregation and Fragmentation".

Note that for kernel 4.9 and above this patch depends on "mac80211:
properly handle A-MSDUs that start with a rfc1042 header". Otherwise
this patch has no impact and attacks will remain possible.

mac80211: properly handle A-MSDUs that start with an RFC 1042 header

2021-06-03T06:22:05+00:00

commit a1d5ff5651ea592c67054233b14b30bf4452999c upstream.

Properly parse A-MSDUs whose first 6 bytes happen to equal a rfc1042
header. This can occur in practice when the destination MAC address
equals AA:AA:03:00:00:00. More importantly, this simplifies the next
patch to mitigate A-MSDU injection attacks.

cfg80211: Purge frame registrations on iftype change

2019-10-05T10:27:54+00:00

commit c1d3ad84eae35414b6b334790048406bd6301b12 upstream.

Currently frame registrations are not purged, even when changing the
interface type.  This can lead to potentially weird situations where
frames possibly not allowed on a given interface type remain registered
due to the type switching happening after registration.

The kernel currently relies on userspace apps to actually purge the
registrations themselves, this is not something that the kernel should
rely on.

Add a call to cfg80211_mlme_purge_registrations() to forcefully remove
any registrations left over prior to switching the iftype.

cfg80211: fix a type issue in ieee80211_chandef_to_operating_class()

2018-10-10T06:52:11+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8442938c3a2177ba16043b3a935f2c78266ad399 ]

The "chandef->center_freq1" variable is a u32 but "freq" is a u16 so we
are truncating away the high bits.  I noticed this bug because in commit
9cf0a0b4b64a ("cfg80211: Add support for 60GHz band channels 5 and 6")
we made "freq <= 56160 + 2160 * 6" a valid requency when before it was
only "freq <= 56160 + 2160 * 4" that was valid.  It introduces a static
checker warning:

    net/wireless/util.c:1571 ieee80211_chandef_to_operating_class()
    warn: always true condition '(freq <= 56160 + 2160 * 6) => (0-u16max <= 69120)'

But really we probably shouldn't have been truncating the high bits
away to begin with.

cfg80211: ignore netif running state when changing iftype

2015-05-29T11:05:40+00:00

It was possible for mac80211 to be coerced into an
unexpected flow causing sdata union to become
corrupted. Station pointer was put into
sdata->u.vlan.sta memory location while it was
really master AP's sdata->u.ap.next_beacon. This
led to station entry being later freed as
next_beacon before __sta_info_flush() in
ieee80211_stop_ap() and a subsequent invalid
pointer dereference crash.

The problem was that ieee80211_ptr->use_4addr
wasn't cleared on interface type changes.

This could be reproduced with the following steps:

 # host A and host B have just booted; no
 # wpa_s/hostapd running; all vifs are down
 host A> iw wlan0 set type station
 host A> iw wlan0 set 4addr on
 host A> printf 'interface=wlan0\nssid=4addrcrash\nchannel=1\nwds_sta=1' > /tmp/hconf
 host A> hostapd -B /tmp/conf
 host B> iw wlan0 set 4addr on
 host B> ifconfig wlan0 up
 host B> iw wlan0 connect -w hostAssid
 host A> pkill hostapd
 # host A crashed:

cfg80211: properly send NL80211_ATTR_DISCONNECTED_BY_AP in disconnect

2015-05-26T13:21:27+00:00

When we disconnect from the AP, drivers call cfg80211_disconnect().
This doesn't know whether the disconnection was initiated locally
or by the AP though, which can cause problems with the supplicant,
for example with WPS. This issue obviously doesn't show up with any
mac80211 based driver since mac80211 doesn't call this function.

Fix this by requiring drivers to indicate whether the disconnect is
locally generated or not. I've tried to update the drivers, but may
not have gotten the values correct, and some drivers may currently
not be able to report correct values. In case of doubt I left it at
false, which is the current behaviour.

For libertas, make adjustments as indicated by Dan Williams.
